I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

Great show! I would do one stop before the show rather than 2 - the mall would have been enough. The bus was very nice.

Patty is a well-organized planner. This was my first trip with her and she is a lovely, friendly and courteous person to everyone on the trip. It was so much fun stopping at the glass and cermic place, then on to Crabtree Mall and finally to the play, Moma Mia. So much fun. I look forward to more trips.

Patty is a meticulous planner and so there is nothing to do but sit back and chat with friends while Donnie, the bus driver, smoothly transfers us from one location to the other. It was a day/evening filled with shopping, dining and enjoying Momma Mia at DPAC. Terrific experience.
